It's going to help you because it means you will get the information you seek. 

Or is it that you want personalized attention?

I spend most of my time mjaking up things to do, drinking tea & talking absolute crap to the other cranky old ex pats in my compound.
Livin' the dream!

Hi

Well hopefully you will have read all the other posts and seen what there is to do --or rather not to do!!

There was a great Brit lady --Rebecca doing Zumba and Boot camp classes that were well attended by ex pats --but due to the usual beaurocracy etc it had to be stopped!!!
Hash is OK if you want to spen time on a Friday walking around the desert. The hash in other gulf countries is a great way to mix and have a good time- but once again the laws of the land here makes it restrictive.
I live on DQ but the pool is banned to men on a Friday !!!!!
The club is extra for folks living on DQ if you are not embassy based.
I am lucky that I have contacts on other compounds but it is like getting into Stalag !!!!

For me the only relief is that I am out of here every 30 days and leave every 2 months!!!
In KSA you work, eat, sleep and basically count the days to leave! Sad i know , but that basically is it in a nut shell.

That is just my thoughts and not maybe of everyone

Regards

As of now my only pass time is playing sports.... I live with lot of Filipinos and they invite me to play basketball and my Indian friends we play cricket... so if u r a sports playing guy just shout out to u r colleagues or some folks who share same sporting interests in this blog nd organize a game after dat u can go out for some coffee or something.... As there is nothing much to do here anyway better to look good after u go back to u r country hahaha datz watz in my mind anyways cheerzz....

...start a hobby and learn at home...except for any musical instrument that creates a lot of noise...
